Ben Hecks Atari Junk Keyboard Part 1: Enter the Matrix element14 presents 2016-10-28 | The team begins working on an Atari Junk Keyboard, a version of the Atari Punk Console that combines 555 timers to make a simple circuit that makes Atari-like music and sound effects. Instead of using sequences to repeat Atari-like sounds they decide to make a whole keyboard of the sounds. Visit Ben Heck on element14: http://bit.ly/2eOnTu5Enroll in the NXP WaRP7 RoadTest: http://bit.ly/2eimisBThe plan is to take the matrix from a set of keys to figure out how they work, add discrete logic by using a circuit to read keys instead of opting for a microcontroller, and then feed that input into a number of Atari Junk Console integrated circuit pairs resulting in multiple sound effects playing at once. They begin their project by first getting the keyboard matrix working so they can later attach it to the Atari Junk Console to make music. Ben begins by wiring up an oscillator. An oscillator is different than a crystal in that the oscillator can output its own waveform whereas a crystal you have to attach something else to it in order to get a square wave. The 1mhz oscillator has power and ground going into it and pins for enable and output. When you hook up power and an oscilloscope to the output pin you should see a 1mhz square wave coming off of it. As that may be a little too fast for the switch matrix a CD74HC4017 Johnson Decade Counter is used to divide the frequencies. A second Johnson counter is also added. On the first Johnson counter one of the outputs is going into the clock input of the second Johnson counter. This prevents 2 useless cycles and keeps timing more consistent.Next he hooks up the outputs of the Johnson Counter to an inverting buffer that will drive the columns as well the flip flop driver that will load the data off of the switches. He uses an Inverting buffer 74HCT540 and wires it so that it so that it goes onto his breadboard. He does more analysis on the oscilloscope after he wires outputs from the Johnson Counter to the Inverting buffer and decides to use another Johnson counter to drive the flip flops.Ben attaches 8 octal flip flops. A flip flop holds one bit of memory, which can be set or cleared. An octal flip flop has 8 bits per flip flop but they only need the first 6 bits to line up with the rows of the switch matrix to give them 48 keys. He attaches the output enable line on each one of the flip flops and then attaches the clock line from the secondary Johnson counter to tell the flip flops when they should be loading data. The switch matrix is attached to all 8 of the flip flops but only one flip flop at a time will be loading data off of the switch matrix. The goal is to have 48 on-off signals from the matrixed keyboard. When a switch is closed, and its column goes low (active) this pulls the signal low. Once Ben gets his keyboard matrixes working Felix takes a circuit from the breadboard and ports it over to a protoboard. He also adds six buttons and seven potentiometers. They’re planning one potentiometer per key for note, and one potentiometer per octave for effect. The tact switches will be replaced by flip-flop drivers on the final unit. Felix connects variable resistors (potentiometers) with the circuit and gives it a test run.
Edge-lit 7-Segment Display Clock Using Raspberry Pi Pico element14 presents 2024-05-10 | In Episode 600 becon_dave on the community site commented that along with the cuckoo clock, a miniature 3D diorama scene could be added (like a traditional cuckoo clock), and suggested that a edge-lit multi-layered laser engraved scene could be used. So, in this episode of Element14 Presents, Katie introduces us to her latest project: creating an acrylic edge-lit clock.The inspiration stemmed from discussions in the community about edge-lit dioramas, sparking Katie's interest in utilizing a laser cutter for this endeavor. Beginning with a simple etched acrylic design, she outlines her vision for illuminating each number on the clock face. Katie experiments with edge-lit laser engraved acrylic by making a clock with a Raspberry Pi Pico, but ensure that it could be a platform that can be changed in the future, so maybe one day we’ll see a scene!Check out the full episode blog on the #element14Community: bit.ly/3JUlVVF#0:00 Welcome to element14 presents#0:18 Overview#1:18 The Plan#4:33 The Schematic And Design#10:22 Assembly#13:58 Time To Test!#15:27 Give your Feedback#homeautomation #raspberrypi #arduinoproject #smartroom #tutorial Engage with the element14 presents team on the element14 Community - suggest builds, find project files and behind the scenes video: bit.ly/3tmdewvVisit the element14 Community for more great activities and free hardware:Tech spotlights: bit.ly/3qPrDhMRoadTest and Reviews: bit.ly/3pV5BuxProject14: bit.ly/31wbnJY
